i played Rhem 1 on my xp....i was able to play by after it intalled and the beginning screen loaded --by clicking two times on the ...''play w/incorrect resolution'' (or something worded like that) and then it begins....it will default to ''MY Documents'' folder for saves, but they are unlimited and you can name them what you like. i saved VERY often, because .... it is a twisty/turny game and being older i did not know if would have any crashes, i only had one, and had no problem re-loading and using a previous saved game. it is a real ''thinker''. i was glad of walkthru (had to use both...still wish there were more ''screen shots''!..) i got sooo turned around sometimes..and the maps are tricky in game, BECAUSE.....NORTH is NOT always at the TOP !! but i still enjoyed this game...i must...i got Rhem 2 but have not loaded it yet.

save a lot. I did have a problem with this game crashing (tho' I played it on my old system). Also, there's lots of times when it's just easier to reload a previous game to look at something than it is to walk all the way back and around to get back to the clue!

As I said in my previous post I am bad with directions.Well I've just ended in Alaska.If the ice bridge was still there I'd be in Russia by now.I am totally lost.Here is where I am at:1)I turned the radar atenna on.2)Went back to water pipes control building.3)Went out through other door.4)Went forward (saw a red button panel but ignored it)5)Kept on walking.6)Got to ladder that goes up to manhole - ignored it.7)Went left instead.....and this is where I getlost 8)Maybe I should go up the ladder that leads to manhole - mosaic door

Thanks for your tip, but I've already gone beyond that point.Guess I'll have to walk back later.I'm stuck again.I'm at the point of the short hallway and found the 3 areas that turn brown.I've gone to the lower level walkway to the right....Cannot get back to the top level.Confused

I'm a bit confused.You mention 8 button panels to be activated.There are only 7 mentioned in the WT(There is one after the antenna - but it is not mentioned in the WT). But I activated it anyways.I did set the mechannism (walkway) right and then down. That was my last step before my post last night.So, so far, according to my notes I have activated 6 button panels.Anyway, I'll find out soon enough.I am at the East lower level on my way to the Platform balcony and then on to the North lower level exit.Will get back to you later - to tell you if the floating bridge is raised.
